  • but i have the 4 rings

  • lol i tried so many thinks and then i found this, tried it and it really works! thanks so much dude <3

  • its fake. the light position changed.

  • Do what I did to fix it I made a vid of it to you beat it then its working like brand new

  • Dude you are so amazing it totally worked

  • Did it 2 days ago and it worked

  • my xbox use too have the red ring of death but then i took and arrow to the knee

  • I just tried it nd it worked , just gotta knw Hw to do it the right way

  • lol ive seen more videos of red ring than yellow light XD

  • DUDES there is an easier fix for the red ring......my xbox i took it out brand new and stood it up. it got the red ring...almost a full ring. i put it on its side and it never did it again

  • does it work

  • P.S. read the one that says " i have an easier way " first to fully understand the concept.

  • so when the soder come loose the system glitches and thats when the trouble starts. so heres why this strategy works. the soder comes off and when put back on the motherboard it will work again ( hence i said flip it over ) so after you flip it over, and heat up the xbox , the glue will melt on the motherboard and will not ruin the mother board though. then by cooling it off, the glue becomes hard and sticks back on the motherboard. have fun. WARNING: NOT A PERMANENT FIX.

  • i have an easier way to do it. first flip over the xbox then turn on the 3 red ring of death xbox and leave it on. then wait a while for it to overheat. when it does overheat, turn it off and wait a while for it to cool off. this sometimes takes up too 2 hours but the results are worth it and its free, no hard labor and a reason why: the red ring( x3) is mostly caused when a soder comes loose and falls off. continue reading next.

  • ps3 is betetr

  • @sleeth ha ha lol skyrim

  • @sleethertheslayer you tossor that jole isnt funny

  • you would have said directly that all would wait 20 minutes

  • My step dad just gave me his 5 year old first gen xbox, that has been in his basement for over 4 years, because he got the red ring of death.

    I took it home, tried it, and yes, the red ring of death... I wrapped it in towels, and waited 25 minutes, and it really worked!!!

    It is a 1st generation which sucks, but I am very happy anyway! Thank you so much for this video!!!

    (PS: If it helps anyone, I used two towels, then I had 4 rings after, but that means cable prob, so i hooked it up and YES!)

  • does it work for elite?

  • For those of you telling other viewers to get a new xbox, this video clearly is for cheap asses and us cheap asses are gonna use it

  • Guys...

    This does work but it is a stupid fix. It temporarly fixes the 3rl but damages other components in the unit This fix will last for 1 to 4 weeks max and if repeated you will damage your unit beyond repair.

    Have your unit professionally repaired or do it yourself.

  • Omg just got given s x box 360 never owned one and tried the blanket trick to fix the ring of death and to my surprise it worked

  • Bull shit that's gonna well over heat and fuck up, I just got a huge fan and placed it facing my xbox to keep it cool xD

  • if this didn't work for you, check out this pretty easy to follow guide

    tinyurl[.]com/x360guide

  • Means you should get a PS3.

  • Color it green.

  • didn't work for me 

  • man this shit work man

  • didnt work the first time going to try it again

  • Thanks bro hopefully it will stay good for a while.

  • Giving this a shot now. My xbox red ringed today and I felt really sad. I was so close to getting to the final riddler dungeon in arkham city. I'll update here if it works.

    I just really wanna get my save data off the hard drive more than anything, because I wanna finish that riddler stuff without replaying the whole games, and i really wanna carry my mass effect file over into 3 without starting over. Even if I have to buy a new xbox I just want that data.

  • strangely enough this actually worked for me today, thank you :)

  • my xbox have the green ring of life:)

  • Didn't work I left it for way over 20 min and it was still cold. I hair dried it until the point where when I touched it I got burnt and still red rings

  • FML if this doesn't work cuz mw3 coming out

  • OH AND BTW! To everyone who thinks you should just get a new xbox! STFU maybe some of us are poor*Points to myself*! ever thought about that?

  • Omfg. this worked for me. thank you sooo much. Lets see if it lasts as long as BrandenHU5Fs does. Im so happy! :D. i cried when my xbox got the red rings.

  • what is this red ring of death and what it do and when it's happend

  • so you basicly put towels over it?

  • how to slove your problem ? : jsut buy a new Xbox for god sake.

  • @MrMohamed97100 Just buy a new Xbox? I guess the 300$ we spent on the elite for it to work for a year and a half was worth the money.

  • @MrMohamed97100 rich faggot

  • 4 rings is because your cable that connects to the tv isnt connected

  • they dont pulse either.....

  • this crap is bull put seventeen of those motherfucking shits and they still dont work

  • dont put the xbox like that upsidedown thats how people get the red ring of death

  • Just got a rrod .. For the first time.

    What should i do? Try to fix it or buy a new one?

  • @tommykaplan if its still under warrenty.. then ring microsoft, if not sell it to a dumbass friend and buy a new one

  • dude my 360 works now after 2 years THANK YOU xD

  • @BrandenHU5F lol o.d

  • @BrandenHU5F

    Wait, r the towels wet or dry?

  • @PandaProductions27 the towels must be dry, otherwise your screwed in my eyes. and i have been using this same trick 50+ times and it STILL works. so yeah take and wrap it like 4 times and let it sit for about 20-30 mins, check it around 20 than if nothing wait about 10-15 mins more, it should work

  • @PandaProductions27 dry!! Only a retard uses wet towels with electric stuff

  • the music is annoying as fuck

  • it works but after like 10 to 15 times it wont work

  • Good thing PS3's were ment to last ;)

  • rufjgvnvfnjfmdk,fklccccccccccc­c

  • It works !!!!!

  • theres another way.my friend got it and this is what he did.take out the leads and plug it out.then plug them backand it should work.im not sure if thats exacly what he said but im 95% sure that what he said.i hope this helped.

    + sorry for the wrong spellings :) :D :P

  • any reason why it only worked for like a minute for me?

  • Hey honey did you know , putting a towel over you fucking xbox ruins the hardware? Nusiance's......any tech person would tell you that, sooner or later your xbox will end up in a grave yard .... :)

  • @MISSWITCHYKITTY We all will do that..

  • @J1I9M7M4Y Oh well...

  • will all the memory b there still

  • Dident work for me tried 3 times still the same....

  • @chriswrightslovepain  Stop doing it! Its damaging your xbox!

  • Just a note to every one that the Towel Trick is only a temporary solution. It only works a limited number of times before it wont work anymore. When I got the RROD I was able to do the trick 5 times before I was no longer able to cheat my 360s death.Eventually you will have to either take it to a store and let them fix it for you, or I recommend getting a new 360, because Microsoft charges you the same amount to fix the 360 as brand new one costs anyway.

  • Hey just asking does anybody have a fix for the HANA (Graphics) card without having to buy and re-install a new one? Thanks!

  • i got one of those black xbox 360s and it turned off while i was playing and it wont turn back on, but i dont see the red ring whats happening?? reply asap D:

  • @XDarthPandaX I have the same problem, except I CAN start it back up and it freezes during startup now....A fix would be much appreciated....;D

  • @XDarthPandaX Unfortunately youll have to be more specific, is it an Elite 360, or the newer 360 slim? Actually either way cant really help you other then to say make sure that everything is plugged in correctly. If it already is, then unplug everything, and then plug everything back in. If that didnt help then I hope that your warranty is still good because youll have to take it back to wherever you bought it.

  • @godness10 I figured out the problem.... the AC adapter's faulty (red light). Any idea's how to fix it or do i need to buy a new one? ( It's working fine now but it might happen again in the future).

  • Doesnt last long it goes back red in 2 or 3 Days.

  • i had the rings 4 times in 1 year,my xbox sucks!

  • my xbox is a red ring of death veteran.

  • Gonna try right now :) god i hope it works cus i just bought GOW 3 and ima die if i don't get to play it right now !

  • I left the Xbox on for 25 minutes, with the towels, came back later. It didn't work and it is still flashing red. Did i do something wrong?

  • @erockliam No you didnt do anything wrong. Unfortunately there are pretty many reasons why people get the RROD, and pretty many ways to fix it, the towel trick is just a temporary solution to the RROD being caused by overheating (I think). If the towel trick didnt work, Im afraid youll have to take it to the store, or Id just recommend getting a new 360and then something to move your saved files into your new one, because honestly theyll just charge you the same amount as a new one anyway.

  • I left the Xbox on for 25 minutes, with the towels, came back later. It didn't work and it is still flashing red. Did i do something wrong?

  • when i put the towel on does it have the 360 have to be on or off and when i take of the towel do i turn it off and the on or it turns of by itself

  • @penpluin it has to be on

  • @penpluin Turn the 360 ON before wrapping it in the twoles, and carfully wrap the 360 in at least 3 towels making sure that every corner of it is covered. Then leave it on for at the very least 20 minutes, then remove the towels turn the 360 OFF, and then On again. Should work, but note that this is only a temporary solution, you can only do the towel trick a limited number of times before it wont work anymore.

  • tryin now

  • when i got the ring of death i just replug it and it work for me

  • Omfg it worked!
